Let's Try an Experiment

Recommended Posts

Have you read FOOLED BY RANDOMNESS, THE BLACK SWAN, or THE SIGNAL AND THE NOISE?

 

Your experiment will not prove a thing, IMHO.

 

How about flipping the coin ONCE for the entire experiment, heads go long, tails go short. Use the WEEKLY ATR of the EUR/USD for a stop loss and trade $.10 per pip.

 

Taking this far too seriously...

 

Flip the coin... dumb fcking stupid as this is... see how it turns out (won't prove a thing). Ya'll are way too serious.

Quoting myself... that sucks. Take the trade against the coin flip... that would be interesting. Best of good fortunes.

This is what we have so far:

 

Me Mon 7/22 (today) Heads/Buy

1 position = $1 a pip.

TP = 20

SL = 20

Position opened 09:30 EST

 

 

Optiontimer Tues 7/23 Tails/Sell

 

Glassonoin Wed 7/24 Heads/Buy

 

Jpennybags Thurs 7/25 Tails/Sell

 

Bluehorse Fri 7/26 Heads/Buy

If some of the spots are not filled, that's ok too. It's all random.

Anyone else wants to jump into an empty spot, jump away.

Take Profit @13204 10:00 EST.

 

I had the chart set to 1 minute, I did not see the trade close so I don't know if it closed on the 10: candle, or if it just rounded the time to the next 15 min of half hour.

 

Anyway, + 20 so far.

Tomorrow we will be doing Jpennybags Tails/short.

 

This is wild, 3 in a row so far. If we win tomorrow it will blow my mind.

My trading day is usually done by 09:30 so I have never really watched PA on a small TF at the NY open.

Some very interesting stuff going on. After this "experiment" we should talk about it.

Random can be humbling... we shall see how this turns out.

 

I once did an experiment were I traded from the left side of the screen... in a trending market everyone looks like a genius.

 

Sometimes we are our worst enemies... get the trade on, and manage the trade has become my philosophy.

:rofl:

 

Your comment reminded me of an interview that i saw on TV with a woman in the UK talking about the birth of the royal baby.

 

She expressed the opinion that she was "Amazed" that the child was a boy.

    • Question: To those that had/have cancer, what were the signs that made you think “something is not right here” to make you go see a doctor? Answer: So, 5/25/2018, I woke up, got ready for work, and as I walked to my car, I started gagging. Like something was stuck in my throat and I needed to clear it. And then it went away.   But 10 minutes after that, I was T-boned at 40mph on the driver side door. But what made me see a doctor was while my muscles felt better and bruises were going away, the gagging still continued, I started having fevers, my neck felt swollen, I was having such a hard time breathing, and I'd have random sharp pains in my chest, but not from where the seat belt saved me.   2 weeks after the accident, I finally see an urgent care doctor, who looks me over, tells me I'm fine, but luckily requests a neck X-ray. And I ask for a chest X-ray, which he rolls his eyes but let me have (most of my pain was in the neck, so I understand).   The very next day, he calls and says “So, that chest X-ray shows there's a 4 inch mass on your heart and lungs, and your lungs have been filling up with fluid, as well as in your pericardial (heart) wall. We need you to come in tomorrow.”   Turns out the big mass, due to the accident, caused my heart and lungs to tear and fill with fluid, the swollen neck and gagging was caused by 2 metastasized tumors, and the fevers and weight loss were symptoms. Stage 4b Hodgkin's Lymphoma.   But thankfully, we went very aggressive with chemo (and had a lot of bad side effects that don't normally happen to patients), and now I'm about 16 months cancer-free. Yay lucky X-rays!

    • As a man, the reality of life is the harshest part. I don’t mind looking older or becoming weaker over time; it’s nature.   Have you ever heard that the only people who will be loved unconditionally are women and children? Men will only be loved as long as they can provide until they are no longer needed. It doesn’t matter if you already did your best to get your kids to the best school or get the best things for them, if you stop before they’re done with it, there will be no thank you. The only thing they will remember is that they have to quit school at 15, ignoring all the previous 15 years of life you provided for them. The only people who will accept you, no matter what, are your parents. But in this situation, you might be that ungrateful child.   EDIT: Wow, I didn’t think this would get so much attention.   For those who disagree, I can only say that everyone has their problem. If you don’t get the chance to face such a thing, be grateful. Remember, sometimes what you throw in the garbage is something that someone wishes ever to have.” – ElZee, Quora   Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/
